CURSE OF THE SPECTRUM: Boise State is looking to end one of the most famed curses in program history Tuesday, when it travels to Utah State. The Broncos are 0-18 all-time in Logan, but no current member of the Boise State roster has played in the Dee Glen Smith Spectrum more than once. The schools were conference rivals in the Big West (1997-2001) and Western Athletic Conference (2006-11) before Utah State joined the MW last year.

RETURNING THE FAVOR: Ten times in the last three seasons Boise State has dropped the first game of a conference series. The Broncos are 8-2 in the return games, going 4-1 in 2012-13, 3-1 in 2013-14 and 1-0 so far in 2014-15. Tuesday is another such game.

NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTION: Since the calendar turned to 2015, Derrick Marks has elevated his game to a new level. Marks leadas the country in scoring in 2015, averaging 25.9 points per game and has led the Broncos in scoring each of the seven games, including five games with at least 28. The end of 2014 saw Marks twist his ankle against Houston (Dec. 22), miss the game against Loyola (Dec. 23) and score just eight points against Colorado State (Dec. 31), while still recovering.

ONE OF A KIND: Of the 755 players in the country averaging at least 10.5 points per game, Derrick Marks is the only one shooting 50 percent from the field, 50 percent from three-point range and 85 percent from the free throw line. Marks ranks 19th in scoring at 19.6 points per game.

LEAGUE LEADER:Derrick Marks leads the Mountain West in scoring at 19.6 points per game. Marks is averaging 23.6 points per game in conference play, also the top mark in the Mountain West.

BRONCOS BOUNCE BACK: Boise State started Mountain West play 0-3, after holding leads in the second half of all three games. The Broncos have responded with five-straight wins against UNLV, at New Mexico home against San José State, at Air Force and home against Colorado State. Three weeks ago Boise State left Laramie, Wyo., at 0-3 in conference, a half game ahead of last place and three and a half games behind first place. Now Wyoming is still in first, but the Broncos have closed the gap. They currently sit in fifth, a half game behind a tie for third and a game and a half behind the Cowboys and San Diego State in first.

WINNING WHEN IT MATTERS: Boise State has won five straight conference games for the 12th time in school history and the first time since joining the Mountain West. This is the 15th different season in which the Broncos have won at least four consecutive conference games, in 10 of the previous 14 seasons the feat was accomplished, the Broncos advanced to a postseason tournament.
